My love of performance and the Arts started in my teenage years with music. Having worked my way to Grade 8 on three instruments, I was soon performing as an accomplished musician with various globe-trotting youth orchestras the highlight of which was playing to audiences of over two thousand in Brazil and Argentina.

After university I worked as a Drama teacher in a London comprehensive, working to bring out the best in students from challenging backgrounds. I have grown a passion for enabling people to believe in and act on what is possible for them. As a senior manager at the school, I became an expert in state management - both my own and often that of others, particularly when facing highly charged situations and extremely challenging behaviours.

My interest in learning more about resilience, communication and sustained high performance led me to become a performance coach. I now work with leaders and their teams in both Education and Business to enable them build and sustain the most useful practices and help them be more successful. I love to combine my passion for education, communication and performance with volunteering
